Today's episode untangles the complexities of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. Drawing on her experience of caring for her mother, who was diagnosed with dementia, today's guest highlights how looking after those with the illness can be demanding and stressful for any family.
As every caregiver has a story to tell, we share candid conversations that cover topics including the realities of living with dementia, the difficulties of choosing residential care, and how we change as a result. We also spread awareness of challenging dementia behaviours, the initial signs of the disease, and ways to make symptoms easier to handle.
